California deputy propositions woman after DV call

John Frank Schafers, a 42 year old Riverside County sheriffs deputy in the California city of Temecula, was arrested Tuesday for going to the home of a woman involved in a domestic dispute and making unwanted advances. He was charged with sexual battery and assault by an officer. He was booked at the Southwest Detention Cente but released on $25,000 bail.

The arrest was based on what a Temecula woman told deputies on Monday, said sheriff’s Sgt. Dennis Gutierrez.

The accuser, whose name was withheld, said the alleged crimes occurred early April 20.

The woman called for help regarding a domestic dispute, and deputies went to her home on Logan Court, Gutierrez said.

Schafers returned to the woman’s home about 4:30 AM and propositioned the woman. Arraignment will be May 27.
